I had created new group"Artiodactyls".The word artiodactyl comes from
the Greek language&means"even-number finger or toe."Artiodactyls are
even-toed ungulates(hoofed mammals).This order of herbivorous mammals
includes cloven-hoofed animals with two hoofs on each foot(like pigs)
or four hoofs on each foot(like deer and cows).Many species of wild
artiodactyls are endangered due to overhunting&poaching for their
meat,skin&antlers,habitat loss&competition for grazing lands from
cattle.Sadly hunting licenses are still issued to hunt the endangered
artiodactyls even in developed countries.In this group you can take
active participation for the conservation of endangered artiodactyls.
